Pittsburgh Irish Festival moves to new location
The Pittsburgh Irish Festival is moving to the Carrie Blast Furnaces National Landmark this year.
鈥淲e could not be more excited to present this year鈥檚 festival at such a historic destination,鈥� said Mairin Petrone, Pittsburgh Irish Festival鈥檚 executive director. 鈥淭he venue will provide a unique atmosphere where the region鈥檚 only remaining non-operative blast furnaces will serve as the backdrop to the vibrancy of our annual Celtic celebration.鈥�
From 1991 to 2006, the festival was at Station Square. In 2007, the event was moved to the Riverplex at Sandcastle. Then, in 2019, it was moved to the Lots of Sandcastle.
The Pittsburgh Irish Festival entertainment line-up and highlights will be released soon, and tickets are available at pghirishfest.org.
